Michael got off of Alan and took a few steps back. He walked in a slow circle in front of the pack members. Growling, and unleashing his dominant aura. The pack members dropped to their knees. Brie went down to her knees as well, since being marked by Brian she was a member of the pack. Thomas and Amy bowed their heads in respect. I didn't know what to do, I began to kneel before Lilith popped up.
We bow to no one. Mate or not. For show or not. We do not bow. She simply stated. So I remained standing with my head held high, watching my mate with nothing but love and pride in my eyes.
Michael howled a long powerful howl. The pack members that weren't already shifted immediately shifted and added their howls to Michael's. Signifying the acceptance of their new Alpha. Alpha Michael.
After the fight Alpha Alan retreated with the woman I had seen beside him. Brie confirmed for me that it was Angelica. We hadn't seen them since, Michael immediately took over the Alpha role. Which meant lots and lots of work. He planned and executed the ceremony to name his beta and third, Brian and Jacob. Which meant they were also very busy.
Michael had wanted to name me Luna during the ceremony as well, but I wanted to finish school and reveal myself to the pack as a white wolf before we did. I wanted to finish school like I had planned, and I wanted more time to train. There was no doubt that once I revealed myself trouble would follow. I wanted to be as prepared as I could.
We had all moved into the pack house, Thomas included. That was really it's own crazy story.
Thomas had been vehemently against it. Amy, however, quickly agreed. Which stunned Thomas and he ended up agreeing as well. Their bedrooms were still separate but right next to each other. Michael and I share a room, Brie and Brian's room was right next door. Thankfully at the pack house all the rooms were sound proof. I was surprised Brie wasn't pregnant yet, they rarely kept their hands off of each other.
Next to their room was Amy's followed by Thomas's. We were on the fourth floor and the only rooms up here.
The only day off I had was Sunday, the plan was to spend the time with Michael. However, he was typically busy with alpha duties, so I'd spend it with Brie. Brian was busy with beta stuff so she was usually free.
Most nights I didn't see Michael. From his scent I could tell he had slept in the bed but he was coming to bed after me and leaving before I woke up. I was kind of hurt but I tried to not let it bother me. He had a lot going on with all of the alpha duties.
The days blurred together. School, training, sleep, and repeat. I was doing well in my classes and greatly progressing in training. I could now beat any of them, except Thomas, in human form. Thomas was just too fast, but I would land hits now and then. In wolf form I could beat Brian so Michael had to step it up and spar with me. It never really worked well and I beat him, but he said he couldn't help but take it easy on me. So I continue with Brian regardless.
With Amy I had mastered most of the spells she taught me, which was most of what she knew. She gave me tasks to do everyday, to learn my limit and the limit of those I was drawing power from, such as the trees. She also set me to study the language of the witches. They called it Adira. All spells are preformed in this language. She brought me book after book. I was learning quickly and she had mentioned the need to go to her coven for more history books.
